Selena Quintanilla was Mexico and Tejano music's glorious, beautiful treasure. An icon who died in a situation filled with tragedy. In Netflix’s new show Selena: The Series, I was super excited to watch her story unfold. Instead, what I got was a very strange, cheesy rendition of Selena’s life. It was like watching someone with a horrible voice sing one of her songs out loud. The wigs, the acting, the sets, everything was just wrong. I felt myself cringing and scratching my head every few minutes (like por que?).
Being a huge fan of Outlander (yes, I love a good romantic AF period show) I knew I had to check out the road trip of my dreams, Men in Kilts: A Road Trip with Sam and Graham. Starz took their hit actors Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish, put them in a camper together, and allowed the adventure to begin.
I feel a little duped on this one. Netflix’s Behind Her Eyes follows Louise, a secretary who works at a psychiatric office and forms a relationship with her sexy, Scottish boss. So far so good. Louise then goes on to form a relationship with his wife Adele, and the two take on a strange bond. Adele teaches Louise a technique to get rid of her night terrors, since she has experience being that she was in a psych ward for a while. The story gets stranger and stranger per episode and I was hooked in the beginning and needed to know how it would end. Well, let me tell you it wasn’t for me and I felt it was a waste of time. Don’t do it, skip this one, pretend you never saw the trailer and almost got sucked in. But hey that’s just my opinion. Did anyone else see this and if so what did you think?
Netflix’s I Care a Lot is a nightmare come to life. Imagine all of your life’s savings being dwindled and scammed away in your retirement years by a complete stranger! Rosamund Pike plays Marla Grayson, a woman who serves as a legal guardian for wards of the state who are deemed to be no longer fit to take care of themselves. She takes old people, puts them into a home and leaves them all alone, while taking away their hard-earned money.
ABC’s Big Sky unravels a drama when two young teenage girls go missing in the beautiful state of Montana. The girls were on their way to see one of their boyfriends who lives in town. His mother, who is played by Katheryn Winnick (yes Lagertha!) coincidentally is a detective and his father, an ex-cop and her ex, played by Mr. Cruel Intentions himself, Ryan Phillipe, go on a hunt to find them. The two own a detective agency along with another woman who is also dating the father. Confusing right?
In HBO’s Industry, sex, drugs, and banking (yes, finance) take on a whole new landscape. A group of recent grads are accepted into a leading bank firm in London, where only the strong will survive. At the end only a handful are selected to remain full time. Each new grad is sent to a different team, each with its own chaotic and frenzied attitude on making money. This show is nuts. You think you are watching a show about trading and banking, and it turns into a whirlwind where every person is trying to survive to save their job. They party and stay up late, do copious amounts of drugs, and in the end try to close million dollar deals with massive hangovers.
